    oh, that's interesting, I didn't know that. I've just been using some twitter downloader website

    seems like the difference is because poast directly links to twitters CDN, while the original nitter avoids any direct connections to twitter. Original nitter had a PR that made it work like poast does now, but nitter died before it could be merged.

      yt-dlp can download videos from twitter or any nitter instance or really any social media you can publicly view.
